track day tyres - matt7chunk - 05-07-17
hey guys.
thinking about a track day (novice only brands hatch in august) atm i have new set of bridgestone t30 evo's fitted to my fzs600,
my question is can i ride the 70miles to brands, spend the day learning the track, have some fun, and ride home again on the same tyres ?
or will the tyres be done for?
sorry for the novice question but really dont know how tyres last on track for a first timer
PS i have reasonable experience on road and ride hard at times and my tyres usually last around 7000 (t30 evo)

Your T30's will be fine. I would drop the pressures down to about 30 psi front and rear cos their going to get hot and sticky.
May feel a bit different at first for the first few laps but once they get up to temperature and you start to increase speed and lean angles.....well, you'll see.

cheers dazza! will they still be ok for general riding afterwards though , like couple months normal summer ride until end of season?

They'll be fine, I wouldn't sweat it. Just pump them up to your normal running pressures when cold and enjoy the rest of the summer's riding.

If it's a dry day, what you will find is blobs of rubber stuck to your road tyres, shed from the track day bikes!
